Honda VT 250 Series - A Timeline Reference Special
It has truly been a while since I last wrote anything, so with my new fascination into motorcycles, I'd love to start a new series. A timeline of sorts, detailing what changed in what years and so on. Because I don't have a motorcycle license, I cannot give my feelings on how different bikes ride, but what I can do is give you a reference guide! First Generation: HONDA VT 250-FII: 1982 - 1983 1982 was a prominent year for Honda, as it was the introduction of the V engine into their motorcycle engine lineup. During this year, Honda released the VT 250-FII and also the VF 400F; their success is what led to now a full range of V-engined motorcycles from 125cc's all the way up to 1,100cc's! The 1982 - 1983 VT 250-FII, also known as the VT 250F, was a naked sport bike and was powered by a 90-degree V-Twin. The advantage of using a V-engine over a conventional inline engine was that the center of gravity was lowered and the seating position therefore could be lowered as well
